The truth is out there. Well at least I think it is. This may sound crazy but I do believe in aliens. It's why I've always had a fascination with outer space and movies and video games about life out there. Because I can see that happening. I find it a bit funny that people who believe in angles, ghost, and spirits laugh at the idea of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Why can't there be? I mean you'll believe that some nearly invisible, winged being can come back from the dead and talk to you, but you don't believe that superior technological advances can't allow there to be life on another planet? Come on, out of those two which sounds more logical. I'm not saying I don't believe in angles or ghost, I'm just saying that if you're gonna believe in that stuff you might as well go for the full package and believe in aliens too because both concepts are just as out there.
I also think that it is somewhat arrogant for us not to believe in extraterrestrial life. Do you know how big space is? I mean our planet alone is nothing but a pebble in our solar system. An the solar system we are in is just a rock in the Milky Way galaxy we live in. Astronomers and scientist estimate there are around 500 billion galaxies out there in the universe. When you put it to that scale, planet earth is basically nothing. Now here's where the arrogance comes in, you mean to tell me, that out of all the countless planets that are in those 500 billion galaxies that ours is the only one that harbors life? Odds alone should be enough to convince that ours is not the only planet capable of containing life. These places are so far away we'll never see them. So how could you so easily rule out the existence of another life form? Just seems kinda absurd to me.
People might argue "exactly, we haven't seen these planets, they're thousands of light-years away so how could any live form reach us?" Well that's where I think the technological advances come in. We really have no clue how advanced these other beings are, but they would have to be if they visited us (i.e. UFO's). What if they just choose not to come here? I mean look at our planet, if you could travel to any planet in any of the galaxies, would you really want to stay on ours? Or what if they already are here? Kind of like the movie Men In Black, they blend in and wear disguise so they could be just like us. Like those outrageous magazines you see in line at the grocery store that claims a woman gave birth to and is raising an alien on a farm. Or some of them come here as refuges to escape intergalactic war or other hard ships that we are oblivious to. What if we are the aliens?
A quote from Mick Mars was what got me thinking about that. what if we are the aliens? I wouldn't be surprised. I mean I wouldn't rule out that I could be one myself. I've always been an odd ball and had a quirky personality. I do some strange things or have little habits that other may find odd. Maybe it's those little different things we do, the ones we can't really explain why we do them, that makes us all aliens. It is an interesting concept that I am definitely not ruling out. I know going from believing in aliens to actually being one myself is a far leap, but I still believe in those two things and everything in between.
"Everyone likes to look for aliens, but I think we are the aliens. We're the descendants of the troublemakers on other planets. Just like Australia was a prison to England, where they sent all their criminals and so on, it's the same thing on Earth. This is where they dropped us off. We're the insane people from somewhere else."
